pensable TO make the tax on all distilled
spirits the same; second, if a reduction
in the tobacco tax was deemed indlspen-
sable to make like reduction in tariff
taxes; third, TO submit the wuole matter
to party caucus aud abide its decision; :;
fourth, to unite in motion TO 20 Into com

Gov. FoRAKER's recommendation that
assessors should be appointed by COM
mission which is able to examine them
with reference to their fitness to serve
in that capacity. should have the early
attention of the Legislature. Frequent
ly assessors are the willing servants of
persons to whom they are placed under
obligations for their nomination by the
caucus, and instead of assessing the
property of such at its true value, they
suffer themselves to be made the dupes
of these designing knaves. If inde-
pendent assessors could be obtained, the
valuation would be greatly increased,
and the rate would lessen proportion

Prohibition, therefore. is prohibition on

jorty of sufferers in all advertised remedies They
become resigned to life of misery rather than
ture themselves with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at
every stage and combatted with all our might. In

No ONE but the unprincipled and

gagged in trying to steal seat in The
highest legislative body of the land
who understand the utter degradation
and meanness of Democratic politics in

defeat of Ex Senator Joseph E. McDon-
aid in the Democratic legislative caucus,
and the nomination of an obscure indi-
yidual named Turpie. as the party can
didate for q. S. Senator. Turpie is a
low schemer. who at present holds the
position of United States Attorney for
Indiana, but bears no comparison III
point of ability to Mcdonald, who,with'
